Quick road food

We like to buy a spiral cut ham, debone it, and put it in ziplocks before a camping trip. Better than regular ham sandiches. Goes with a biscut or english muffin for breakfast. Good cold or tossed in a skillet.

Muffin meals

Portable, nutritious and filling. No refrigeration needed if you're using them for lunch. You can use your own homemade Bisquick mix recipes available online.
Here are two examples of brunch/lunch options that are made in regular muffin tins.

For on the road DW packs a small cooler with cheese slices (to taste) and Hormel Turkey Pepperoni (comes in a re-sealable bag of slices)and a box of social crackers such as wheat thins. I've thought about having her add a jar of pickle slices but haven't gotten around to it. The turkey pepperoni has a great flavor yet is not greasy. That and a 2" square of your favorite cheese on a cracker makes a great filling snack on the road.

We always took a small cooler in the car with a sandwiches etc. like listed here. We also took cut vegetables and our favorite fruits. DH likes beef sticks and cheese also.

It's easy to keep hotdogs hot in a thermos of hot water. Just bring buns and little packets of ketchup/mustard. A thermos also works well for Italian beef.

To keep a bottle of wine cold. Wrap in a layer of aluminum foil, then roll it up in a few layers of newspaper. It will stay cold for three hours if your car isn't hot.

That's good to know about cold wine storage! I'll keep this tip in mind when next I forget my neoprene bottle sleeve:).

I like both these tips! Thanks for sharing

for daily sightseeing trips that last several hours, we always take a small ice chest with water, soda pop and sandwiches..usually cheese and bologna or ham. A large bag with chips, cookies, hard candy and a doggie treat for our hairy pal.
A roll of paper towels and some wet wipes.
Sometimes, if we're passing right by one on our way, we'll get a couple subway sans to take in the ice chest.

Sometimes before a trip I double up on recipes that freeze well and then load them into the freezer. Take them out in the morning and have a delicious hot meal in the evening.

the cold wine for roadside lunch is cracking me up.
